Boy crazy at Arts Victoria

The things those artists get up to! Remember Paul Yore, the artist whose works saw the Linden Centre shut down for a number of days following a police raid back in June? Yore is edgy and hip, as they say, as is the Linden for showcasing his work, like the two examples (below) removed by those philistine wallopers.

Oh, now I understand. When you or I produce pictures of sexual acts with faces of little boys ... that's pornography. When artists produce pictures of sexual acts with faces of little boys ...that's "a non-binary view of sexuality". Difficult to understand art, eh? I guess that means the little boys must be really, really pretty. Worthy of a great artist.

There is Art and there is crap.Then there is crap pretending to be art. This artist is neither edgy or clever. Just pathetic. He and the gallery have again failed to understand that shock for shocks sake has about as much edge or relevance as a fart in a lift.

Actually Prof, I didn't deconstruct this with the two cents worth of attention it does actually deserve. It doesn't matter what the artist's motives are the iconography is accurate.

A quintessential all-that-glitters-pop-idol with a The Beetles affection for Indo Chinese hip pluralism is continually pissing in public and on himself.

But altogether like Luka Magnotta's insane self loathing public protestations over liberality the tragedy lies in the deafening silence. The artist could indeed have cut off his own penis and stuffed it in the idol's image; the line in the sand separating him from such realism may have well been a subliminal appreciation that such a commitment to form would have been just as silently received with golf claps from the gallery giving way to the awkwardest ever apathy.

The West is indeed pissing on itself. And Allah hu akbar will indeed do what it has done every other place it has taken hold. Leave a ground zero scorched earth habitation for a generation or more.

That the British Commonwealth was built on the Protestant Reformed religion remains the most underrated facts of history. Australia can only self destruct as the consequence of near universal ignorance.

If I was in Melbourne right now I would grab a can of spraypaint & perform live & intercative Daubism over these exhibits. If arrested for vandalism I would scream "artistic freedom", & then all the progressives would rush to my defence (ha ha).
